Premature atrial contraction (premature atrial beat / complex): ECG and clinical implications

…irregular heart rhythm (despite the underlying sinus rhythm). Although atrial premature beats are harmless, they can trigger sustained supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (e.g. atrial fibrillation, AVNRT…

Premature ventricular contractions (premature ventricular complex, premature ventricular beats)
